Add Beer Help

There is a good chance that they might be deleted since you made a point of announcing that you did not do a full review.

I think that you could ask one of the site admins (like UncleJimbo) if they could make sure the beers are added even without the review but I have no personal experience doing that.

Note: I am not a site admin so I am speaking from no authority but judging by other actions I have seen over the years.

 

Well, filling the number of character requirements with something along the lines of "I didn't do a full review !!!!!!!!!!"... doesn't exactly meet the requirements of a review.

 

Well, I was just explaining to the person who asked why the reviews would be deleted. Essentially the rules for a review were not followed and by bringing attention to it, you are almost guaranteeing that they will get removed vs. just waiting to see if someone sees them and reports them to the site moderators.

I'm not sure why you are saying there are no constructive people on this site. It sounds to me like you are just looking for someone to validate that what you did was actually acceptable even though it does not follow the established rules.

Multiple people (including myself and TMoney2591) have mentioned that we believe that site admins are able to add beers to the site, so you could have sent a message to any one of them and asked if they would add the beers for you. Additionally, you could have asked the question of how you could get a beer added to the site since you did not feel like you had enough information to do a full review before doing it (and not following the established rules).

The Bros have already mentioned that with the upcoming site redesign, they are going to change the ways that beers are added to the site to possibly not tie it to the review process thus allowing the addition of beers without doing a full review. They have not provided a lot of details on how that is going to work yet but I expect to see something in the not too distant future.

 

Yes a beer can exist without a review but thus far that ability has only been provided to site admins. The Bros established the rule that you can only add a beer when you do a full review - I'm sure they have their reasons but as you probably know, the ability to do quick reviews is a fairly recent addition to the site.

 

As Todd said in this post, they won't be allowing beers to be added without reviewing them until the site redesign is complete. Until then, I guess you could keep a list of the beers you've had and then add them when the new method of handling beer entries is implemented. It's also possible that someone else might enter a beer with a full review after you've tried it, and then you can give it a "had" rating once it's in the system.
